    Last updated: October 2025
    Quotely Ltd — info@quotely.uk

    1. Introduction

    Welcome to Quotely, an AI-powered business discovery platform for UK manufacturing and innovation.
    By accessing or using Quotely (the “Platform”), you agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”).
    These Terms apply to all users — including buyers, suppliers, and affiliate partners — and cover use of the Quotely website, AI search tool, and related services.

    If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Platform.

    2. Purpose of the Platform

    Quotely provides information, introductions, and AI-powered supplier matching to help users discover UK manufacturing and innovation businesses.
    The Platform is designed to assist users in finding potential suppliers based on natural language search — but Quotely does not guarantee the accuracy, suitability, or performance of any supplier or match.

    Quotely is primarily intended for business and professional use (B2B), but individuals, sole traders, and students may also use the Platform for general discovery.

    3. No Guarantee or Endorsement

    Quotely provides introductions only.
    We do not vet, verify, or endorse any supplier, product, service, or partner listed on the Platform.

    All users engage with suppliers, partners, or affiliates entirely at their own discretion and risk.
    Quotely accepts no responsibility or liability for:

    • The quality, accuracy, or completeness of any supplier information,

    • The outcome of any contact, quote, transaction, or project,

    • Any errors or omissions in the AI search or supplier data.

    Quotely includes information on UK-based manufacturers, innovators, and service providers, as well as UK branches or subsidiaries of international companies that actively operate within the United Kingdom. All listings are sourced from publicly available information. Inclusion does not imply endorsement, and companies may request edits or removal at any time by emailing info@quotely.uk

    4. Use of Publicly Available Information

    Some supplier listings and company details displayed on Quotely have been compiled from publicly available business information.
    These listings exist to improve discoverability and help buyers connect with UK manufacturers.

    If your company has been listed and you prefer not to appear on Quotely, you can request removal at any time by emailing info@quotely.uk.
    Removal requests will be actioned promptly and respectfully.

    5. Data Collection and Use

    Quotely may collect anonymised usage data when buyers use the AI tool or browse the Platform.
    This includes search trends, materials, processes, and industries of interest.

    This data is used to improve the service and may be shared in anonymised, aggregated form with verified premium suppliers to provide industry insights.
    No personal or identifying buyer information is shared with suppliers or third parties.

    For details on data protection, see our Privacy Policy.

    6. Supplier Information

    Suppliers listed on Quotely — whether through public data or direct registration — are responsible for ensuring their information is accurate and up to date.

    Premium suppliers may receive access to additional platform benefits, including analytics, marketing spotlights, and affiliate offers.
    Quotely is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or behaviour of any supplier beyond information displayed on the Platform.

    7. Affiliate & Partner Offers

    Premium suppliers may be introduced to third-party affiliate businesses that provide discounts, services, or other offers.
    These are provided independently by those partners.

    Quotely does not control, endorse, or guarantee any partner offer, and is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or fulfilment of any such offer.
    Engagements with partners are at the user’s own risk and subject to the partner’s own terms.

    Quotely is not liable for any partner’s actions, business practices, or conduct outside the scope of the Quotely platform.

    8. User Responsibilities

    By using the Platform, you agree to:

    • Use Quotely lawfully and only for legitimate business or research purposes;

    • Not misuse the AI tool, including submitting unlawful or misleading content;

    • Not attempt to copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or disrupt the Platform;

    • Not use Quotely to send spam, advertisements, or unsolicited messages.

    You also agree not to input, upload, or share any personal, confidential, or proprietary business information (including technical drawings, private data, or trade secrets) through the AI tool. Quotely’s AI system is designed for general sourcing discovery and cannot guarantee confidentiality of any voluntarily entered information.

    9. Intellectual Property

    All intellectual property in the Quotely Platform, design, AI systems, and content belongs to Quotely Ltd.
    You may not copy, redistribute, or reproduce any part of the Platform without written permission.

    Supplier logos and descriptions remain the property of their respective owners and are used only for identification and fair business use.

    10. File Uploads and Attachments

    If the Platform offers the ability to upload files (such as specifications, drawings, or other documents), you confirm that you own or have full permission to share the content. Files will be processed temporarily by Quotely’s AI for sourcing purposes only and not stored permanently.

    You must not upload any document containing confidential or sensitive commercial data that you do not wish to share. Quotely accepts no liability for loss, misuse, or disclosure of uploaded materials.

    Users should not upload personal information or client data. Any file containing such data may be deleted for security and compliance reasons.

    11. Disclaimer of Warranties

    The Quotely Platform, its AI system, and all information provided are made available “as is” and “as available.”

    Quotely makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to:

    • The accuracy, reliability, or completeness of AI-generated information or supplier matches;

    • The suitability of any supplier, partner, or recommendation;

    • Merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement;

    • Continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free operation.

    Artificial intelligence and automation are inherently imperfect technologies. The AI system may occasionally return incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate information, or fail to interpret a query correctly. By using Quotely, you acknowledge these limitations and agree that Quotely Ltd accepts no responsibility or liability for any consequence arising from the use or interpretation of AI-generated results or uploaded documents.

    Use of the Platform and AI tool is entirely at your own risk.

    12. Limitation of Liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law:

    Quotely, its directors, employees, and partners shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or other consequence resulting from use of the Platform, AI tool, or supplier introductions.

    This includes (without limitation) loss of profits, business interruption, loss of data, reputation damage, or indirect or consequential loss.

    Quotely’s total liability for any claim shall not exceed £100 or the amount paid by the user in the 12 months preceding the claim, whichever is lower.

    13. Termination and Modification

    Quotely reserves the right to suspend, modify, or remove any part of the Platform at any time without prior notice.
    We may update these Terms periodically — the updated version will be posted on www.quotely.uk with the revised date.

    14. Governing Law

    These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
    Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

    Quotely Ltd — info@quotely.uk

    1. Introduction

    Quotely Ltd (“Quotely”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data.
    This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use our website, AI supplier search tool, and related services (collectively “the Platform”).

    We collect and process the following information:

    • Messages or communications sent through contact forms or emails.

    b. Information collected automatically:

    When you use the Quotely AI Supplier Search, we may record anonymised details of your query to improve future matching accuracy and identify manufacturing trends.
    These records are not linked to identifiable personal data.

    d. Publicly available business data:
    We may compile business information from public sources to create basic supplier listings that help improve discoverability.

    3. AI Tool and File Uploads

    The Quotely AI system is designed for general manufacturing and sourcing discovery only. Users must not enter or upload personal data, confidential materials, or proprietary designs.

    If the Platform includes a file upload function, any document, image, or CAD drawing you submit will be processed temporarily for AI analysis and supplier matching purposes only. Files are not stored permanently, or shared with third parties.

    You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload any files and for excluding confidential, private, or sensitive information. Quotely accepts no liability for any loss, disclosure, or misuse of voluntarily submitted data.

    If you inadvertently submit confidential or personal data, you may contact us at info@quotely.uk to request deletion.

    4. How We Use Your Data

    We use collected information to:

    • Operate and improve the Platform and AI system;

    • Provide and manage supplier listings and search results;

    • Generate anonymised industry insights (e.g. popular searches or materials);

    • Communicate with registered suppliers;

    • Share updates, newsletters, and marketing (where consented).

    Anonymised buyer search data may be shared in aggregated form with verified premium suppliers to provide insights into industry demand and interest trends.
    No identifiable or personal data is shared in these reports.

    5. Legal Basis for Processing

    We process your data under the following lawful bases:

    • Legitimate interest: operating and improving Quotely’s platform and services.

    • Consent: for marketing or communications where you’ve opted in.

    • Legal obligation: to comply with regulatory or tax requirements.

    6. Data Retention

    We retain only the information necessary to operate the Platform.
    Publicly available supplier data may remain visible until updated or a removal request is made.

    Uploaded files and AI input data (if applicable) are processed temporarily and then deleted automatically. No upload is permanently stored once analysis is complete.

    7. Data Sharing and Security

    We do not sell or rent personal data.
    We may share data only with trusted service providers (e.g. web hosting, analytics) bound by confidentiality agreements.

    All reasonable measures are taken to secure your information, including encryption, access control, and limited retention.
    However, no system is completely secure, and Quotely cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information entered into the AI tool or uploaded to the Platform.

    8. Supplier Profiles and Public Data

    Some supplier listings are based on publicly available information.
    If you are listed and prefer not to be, please contact us at info@quotely.uk and we will remove your profile promptly.

    9. Cookies and Analytics

    We use cookies to improve functionality and analyse anonymous usage patterns.
    You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

    If Google Analytics or other tracking tools are introduced, we will update this policy and cookie notice to explain how anonymised data is collected and processed.

    10. Your Rights

    You have the right to:

    • Access your personal data;

    • Request correction or deletion;

    • Object to certain types of processing;

    • Withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

  • Removal from the Quotely Database & AI Tool

    At Quotely, we celebrate UK manufacturing and innovation by helping businesses be discovered fairly.
    To make that happen, we include basic supplier listings created from publicly available information that’s already accessible online.
    This helps buyers connect with capable suppliers they might not otherwise find.

    However, we completely understand that not every company wishes to appear on directories or discovery platforms.

    If your business is listed on Quotely and you’d prefer to be removed, we make it simple to do so.

    👉 Just email us at info@quotely.uk with your company name and website, and we’ll remove your profile promptly and respectfully from both the website and our AI discovery tool.

    We’ll confirm once it’s done — no fuss, no forms, no questions asked.

    But… we hope you’ll stay 🙂
    Quotely is all about showcasing the best of UK manufacturing and innovation — and we’d love for you to be part of that story.

  • Quotely Premium Supplier Membership Terms and Conditions

    Last updated: October 2025
    Quotely Ltd — info@quotely.uk
    (This Addendum forms part of Quotely’s Terms of Use and applies specifically to Premium Supplier Members.)

    1. Scope and Relationship to the Main Terms

    This Premium Supplier Membership Addendum (“Addendum”) supplements the Quotely Terms of Use.
    By purchasing or maintaining a Premium Supplier Membership, you agree to both this Addendum and the main Terms of Use.

    If any conflict arises between the two, this Addendum takes precedence for matters relating to Premium Membership.

    2. Membership Overview

    Premium Supplier Membership gives suppliers enhanced visibility and access to additional features within the Quotely platform, including but not limited to:

    • Featured placement and higher AI match prioritisation,

    • Analytics and anonymised buyer search insights,

    • Spotlight marketing opportunities,

    • Access to affiliate partner discounts and offers, and

    • Community and promotional initiatives.

    Premium Membership does not guarantee specific leads, sales, or outcomes. Quotely provides exposure, visibility, and insight — not direct sales representation.

    3. Subscription Options and Payments

    Premium Membership is available as either:

    • Monthly subscription — billed monthly and cancellable at any time prior to the next billing cycle.

    • Yearly subscription — billed annually with a 14-day cooling-off period for refunds under UK consumer law. After 14 days, fees are non-refundable.

    All payments are processed securely via third-party payment provider Stripe. Quotely does not store or process payment card details directly.

    Invoices and receipts are automatically generated for your records.

    4. Renewals and Cancellations

    • No partial or pro-rata refunds are issued for mid-term cancellations.

    5. Price Changes and Promotions

    Quotely reserves the right to change membership pricing, introduce new tiers, or offer temporary discounts or promotions at any time.
    Where feasible, existing subscribers will be notified in advance of any price changes.

    Any promotional or discounted pricing applies only to the specified term and does not guarantee the same rate at renewal.

    6. Supplier Responsibilities

    By maintaining a Premium Membership, suppliers agree to:

    • Provide accurate, up-to-date company information and promptly notify Quotely of any changes;

    • Ensure all content, images, and data shared with Quotely are lawful, non-infringing, and suitable for publication;

    • Comply with all relevant UK laws and industry standards;

    • Not misuse affiliate or partner offers, discount codes, or share them outside of the intended business use;

    • Act professionally and responsibly in any interactions with buyers or other members of the Quotely community.

    Failure to comply may result in temporary suspension or termination of membership.

    7. Quotely Responsibilities

    Quotely will:

    • Maintain the Platform and Premium features with reasonable skill and care;

    • Communicate any major service or pricing changes in a timely manner.

    8. Affiliate Partners and Perks

    Premium Members may receive access to exclusive offers or discounts from Quotely’s verified Affiliate Partners.

    Quotely does not control, endorse, or guarantee any partner offer, discount, or service.
    All such engagements are between the supplier and the partner directly, and subject to the partner’s own terms.

    Quotely is not liable for:

    • Any loss, issue, or dispute arising from partner offers or interactions;

    • The conduct, reputation, or fulfilment of any third-party partner business.

    9. Platform and AI Use

    Premium Members understand that Quotely’s matching system uses artificial intelligence and that results are generated automatically based on the available supplier data.

    AI-generated matches are not guaranteed to be complete or error-free.
    Quotely accepts no liability for inaccuracies, omissions, or the outcome of AI recommendations.

    10. Termination

    Quotely reserves the right to suspend or terminate a Premium Membership without notice if:

    • Payment fails or remains outstanding,

    • A supplier breaches this Addendum or the main Terms,

    • The supplier’s conduct is deemed damaging to Quotely’s reputation, users, or partners.

    Upon termination, Premium features and benefits cease immediately.

    11. Limitation of Liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law:

    • Quotely, its directors, and employees shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or indirect consequence arising from membership use, AI results, or supplier introductions.

    • Quotely’s total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the total membership fees paid in the preceding 12 months.

    12. Changes to This Addendum

    This Addendum may be updated periodically.
    The latest version will always be available at www.quotely.uk and take effect from the date of publication.
    Your continued Premium Membership after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

    13. Governing Law

    This Addendum, and any dispute arising from it, shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, under the exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
